Skin Care Review: Moroccan Magic Lip Balm

Thinking back to when I was much, much younger, I’m sure the first beauty product I used was lip balm. In my mind it was a gateway beauty product — next would be lipgloss and then the golden prize — LIPSTICK! The irony is that now, decades later, I’m still in love with lip balm, and it’s a necessary piece to my makeup and skin care arsenals. I’m sure everyone has a reason for using a lip balm — it’s the perfect lip primer for those super matte lipsticks. Lip balm keeps your lips moist during harsh winter weather. It’s the natural go-to for an errand day or a dressed-down Saturday. Lip balm is pretty much a necessity. I had the pleasure of trying out Moroccan Magic Lip Balms. And pleasure I do mean… About Moroccan Magic Lip Balm $12 for 3 to $30 for 7: HIGH QUALITY LIP TREATMENT: Our balms are ultra smooth, healing and long lasting without that waxy feel or taste. Moroccan Magic Organic Lip Balms are infused with USDA Organic Argan and Essential Oils and are proud to only use high quality, fair trade, USDA Organic ingredients in our products. Our Formulas are non-toxic, cruelty free and always made with simple, pure, clean ingredients from nature MADE WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS: As a company, we have very high standards for our manufacturing process from ingredients to packaging. We never use synthetic ingredients, parabens, sodium laurel sulfate, phyhalates, chemicals, fillers, animal testing, mineral oils, petroleum. In fact, each ingredient included in our small batch formulas have purpose and are believed to have their own healing properties PURE, SIMPLE, CLEAN FORMULA: Our simple recipe for the perfect lip balm starts with quality ingredients. Each ingredient included in our small batch formulas have purpose and are believed to have their own healing properties. Enjoy Ingredients such as organic beeswax, argan oil, and rosemary extract for long lasting, smooth-as-butter results MOROCCAN MAGIC: As a true lip balm lover, you are most likely (and understandably) very picky about which lip balms you use. That’s good, we are too! That’s why we have created what people are now calling “The Smoothest Lip Balm Ever!” We are proud to offer a better balm, it’s as simple as that. You deserve a higher quality everyday lip balm at an everyday price Available in 8 flavors: ROSE: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic rose essential oil. MANUKA HONEY: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic Manuka honey. PEPPERMINT EUCALYPTUS: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils. LEMON THYME: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic lemon and thyme essential oils. LAVENDER VANILLA: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic lavender extract and organic vanilla. COCONUT ALMOND: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic sweet almond and coconut oils. ELDERBERRY AND MANUKA HONEY: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with elderberry fruit extract and organic Manuka honey. UNSCENTED: This unscented lip balm was specially crafted to be your new favorite go-to lip balm for everyday chapped lip relief. My results: Moroccan Magic Lip Balms have raised the bar for inexperienced lip balm in a tube. The ingredients are exceptional— argan oil and a plethora of essential oils and herbs to vary the “flavor” and scent of the balm. My favorite use is under my lipstick as I like to use a long-wearing lipstick for work and those tend to be drying. However when I use Moroccan Magic Lip Balm before applying an ultra matte lipstick it saves my lips! These lip balms are also my daily go to as opposed to a lipgloss when I’m having a casual day. Moroccan Magic Lip Balm is also part of my nighttime skin care routine. A touch of this lip balm keeps my lips moist through the night. I do have my favorites–Elderberry and Manuka Honey, Coconut Almond and Lemon Thyme. But they are all wonderful. Bling Factor: Pro: Moisturizing, soothing, long-lasting, great ingredients Con: None Price: $3.99 each plus package prices Buy again: None Packaging: 5 Blings, each “flavor” is easily identifiable Overall: 5 Blings Hero Ingredients: Organic Argan and Essential Oils Natural/Organic/Vegan: Yes Cruelty Free: Yes

Editor’s Picks: Best Facial Cleansers for Cold Weather

Winter can be a beast when it comes to the way it treats our skin. Cold, harsh weather can dry and strip our skin of it’s natural oils. So, the last thing we need to do is wash away the natural lipids on our skin when we cleanse our face. Rather, a cleanser that’s gentle and replenishes the natural oils on the skin is preferable. Even the oiliest skin types can benefit from a gentle non-stripping cleanser. We have road tested dozens of cleansers and these six are the best of the batch to keep your skin in it’s optimal health during these cold weather months.

Trending – Winter Beauty: Beauty Hacks from Celeb MUA Joanna Simkin

Whether you’re going on a winter getaway, planning a date night or using the day off to focus on yourself, we’ve got you covered with these makeover Monday “Winter Beauty Hacks” from Celebrity MUA Joanna Simkin. Simkin stresses that beauty begins with moisturized, glowing skin and is fan of using Vaseline® Cocoa™ Radiant lotion for herself and her celebrity clients. Made with 100% pure cocoa butter, this hydrating moisturizer is a cold weather must-have that treats dry and dull winter skin. Don’t skip SPF! The sun’s rays are still out on cold winter days and can even reflect more directly off freshly-fallen snow. Winter is a time you can use heavier formulas of SPF for added moisture as well. To help your moisture absorb and last during the winter season, apply Vaseline® Cocoa Radiant™ lotion all over immediately after showering, then add thin layers of clothing or sleepwear (think Long Johns, gloves, socks). The 100% cocoa butter acts an emollient known to help hydrate the skin and lock in moisture to keep skin soft, smooth and glowing. Dark, matte lipstick is my favorite winter look! Prep lips by scrubbing with Vaseline® Lip Therapy® mixed with raw sugar to smooth. Rinse and pat dry before using a dark lip liner followed by a matte lip formula. The exfoliation will ensure smooth application, while the pat-dry will ensure no shine peeking through. To perk up my complexion in the winter months, I love to mix a golden liquid illumination with my winter shade of foundation. It softly warms the skin to look lit-from-within and provides my face with a subtle, natural glow. Minor skin irritations can be easily caused by dry winter air and harsh winds. I love using a thin layer of Vaseline® Jelly over red, irritated areas such as cheeks – it protects by creating a thin barrier on your skin.

Bad Beauty Habits: R’Chelle Will Take Better Care of Her Hands

As much as I advocate for skincare and beauty routines to enhance your outer beauty I fall terribly short when it comes to one important area, my hands! Last week I took a look at my hands and they looked like I’d been playing in a box of rocks. Without question my beauty resolution will be to take better care of my hands this year. In an effort to restore the moisture and health into my hands, I’ll be using Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 $29.50. What it is: A soothing hand cream that moisturizes and helps create a more even skintone. What it does: This rejuvenating hand cream helps reverse the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and discolorations, producing a smoother, clearer skintone. The gentle UVA/UVB sunscreen and calming botanicals work to prevent future darkening, leaving hands feeling soft, supple, and moisturized all day long. Shop:

Bad Beauty Habits: Marna Resolves to Quit Picking Her Face

This year I will work hard to not pick at my skin. Ever since I gave birth to my daughter 11 years ago, I suffered from adult acne. I know that picking at and constantly touching the skin on my face is a recipe for disaster. Hands and nails are the worst culprits of skin problems. So why do I do it? Its a nervous habit I am working hard to break. I remember in high school (ahhhhh the carefree high school years) I had crystal clear skin. I made a conscious effort to not touch my face. In fact, I would get very upset and scream on people for touching my face. I know, that was a little extreme, but look at my pay-off. My beauty resolution is stop using stop abusing my skin and to go back to the meticulous care I gave my skin high school and see what I can do to recapture the beautifullly clear skin of my youth. I plan on using Alba Botanica ACNEdote Skin Care to get my breakouts under control and to clear it up alba botanica acnedote
